Students having weekly Discussion

“Our learner-centered educational philosophy places an emphasis on an interactive learning environment facilitated by leading Cambridge practitioners and expert educators. I’ve been involved with Cambridge since 2003 and I believe in the Cambridge way because of the simple expectation of understanding the content of Cambridge subjects. It is all about the why, how and where rather than learning in parrot fashion style. Added to this we have created an environment where students are encouraged to take ownership of their studies with the guidance of the tutors. Our study skills program assists students to identify the best way to learn and manage their studies. Our aim is not only academics, but to teach students in a holistic manner. We are already seeing massive improvements in student motivation and dedication towards their work. There are now more than 12,000 Cambridge schools around the world in over 140 countries that made over 1.6 million exam entries for Cambridge qualifications in June 2014. The strong increase in entries we have seen this year demonstrates how much parents and learnersvalue choice. Schools know that good outcomes depend on a curriculum which inspires children to learn, motivates and challenges them and provides a good balance between knowledge and skills. That is the programme Cambridge offers, followed by rigorously designed examinations which provide a fair, internationally benchmarked assessment of what each student has achieved. “explains Yates.

Exciting Times
